Lots of Luxury with Lots of Problems - Range Rover P38 (Reworked)

[@lezivanerrol3697]

Bought one in 1996. Two years later The Prince of Darkness, HVAC failure and suspension defeated me.

The ridiculous styling of the Bentley variant just goes to show you can't buy class

[@leightonolsson4846]

They are ideal for picking up one small child from school in crowded Victorian/Edwardian constructed built up residential areas, especially if you enjoy breaking the speed limit, going through red lights and parking irresponsibly. At least that's my impression...🤨

If these cars were reliable, they would have been amazing. If.

[@frednerk8366]

The first car company to use the name Vogue was Singer (part of the Rootes Group I think). I don't know how Range Rover got away with using the same name.

Oh look! Another Ruairidh video on a British car with so much potential yet stymied by poor production!

[@Ballterra]

The erm channel name doesn’t exactly match your accent just an observation not a criticism. Any way I digress I have owned a IH Scout 2 it is in no way.. a car like design.. more like a tractor and appalling fuel economy Hmm just like the Discovery 1 V8 which I also had the misfortune to own. The P38 is gorgeous though a brilliant design.

Autobiography: proof that money does not buy taste. Just like Rolls Royce in the 70s, when the customer gets to choose colours it all gets very vulgar. My own P38 has been a reliable, if slow, workhorse. Prefer the D2 though.

Maybe mate you wanna do video about jaguar xj x350/x358? 😎

Why do they always go to Italy and annoy everybody there before choosing their own silly design. This is not the first or the only time they did this.

[@MontegoReviews]

The problem with all those Italian design houses was that they were trying to re-invent the Range Rover whilst putting their own spin on it instead of doing what Land Rover asked them to do. Bertone were close to getting the contract with their second design, but were beaten by Land Rover's own designers as they met the criteria and parameters that Land Rover set out. “Their own silly design” won as it was conventional and didn't look ridiculous. At least Land Rover gave Bertone, Ital Design and Pininfarina an opportunity to add another car to their portfolios and they blew it.

[@drstevenrey]

@@MontegoReviews Okay, get it. So that is why Rover reinvented the whole thing after a very short life. Got it.

[@MontegoReviews]

@@drstevenrey yet it was less of a re-invent than whatever the fuck Bertone tried to do.

[@Avantime]

@@MontegoReviews Yeah no one in the upscale, conservative Range Rover clientele is going to buy a vehicle that looks too "out there". I mean look at Toyota's Landcruiser, it still looks relatively the same throughout the years.

[@robertely686]

This car segment, and the people that buy them, are mainly interested in rigidly sticking to convention

[@MrNikodemus5]

I got a new 4.6 HSE in 1999. I had it for 5 years, drove a 230 000 km with it. I had very few problems with the car. Perhaps one of the most comfortable cars I ever had. Since then I have driven smaller and more sustainable vehicles. They have been smarter, but not as regale as the P38. Regards from Norway

[@squeaksvids5886]

I think this is the best looking Range Rover ever made, inside and out. Shame it wasn’t built very well.

[@DaveSCameron]

A true great British legend and despite its flaws including the lack of security regarding its being the most popular vehicle for thieves in London it has become an iconic symbol of a once proud and vibrant British industry. Thanks once again Sir for your well crafted work and shared knowledge on this issue and the other topics you offer to us all on this increasingly flawed platform. Best regards from Liverpool.☘️📚

Cars again..yes..BINGO!!.....

[@drstevenrey]

In my mind the only single selling point about the Range Rover is the split rear door. That alone would sell it to me.

[@sdwzed4585]

I see a little of the BMW e53 took a little of the Range Rover styling
